luac-texluac-luatex-texlua-...

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

It is silly, but luatools urges me to have luac or texluac files, while the magazine tells only about luatex/texlua. It seems like luac not is the same as luatex, so I'm in despair because don't know where to get those additional files. 

// from luatools.lua //
function utils.lua.compile(luafile, lucfile)
 -- utils.report("compiling",luafile,"into",lucfile)
    os.remove(lucfile)
    local command = "-s -o " .. string.quote(lucfile) .. " " .. string.quote(luafile)
    if os.execute("texluac " .. command) == 0 then
        return true
    elseif os.execute("luac " .. command) == 0 then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

-- 
Best regards,
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

try to copy luatex as luac and as texluac
Do you have lua installed under windows ?
It should be 5.1 release.

Re: luac-texluac-luatex-texlua-...

Hi,

What I did on Ubuntu 7.04 (bash shell) was this

downloaded justtex.zip and linuxtex.zip from pragma
and unzipped them in my home directory.

uncommented all the unset commands in setuptex

downloaded luatex and the lua compiler i.e luac (found it via google)
I think from www.luatex.org and from www.lua.org. I read on the mailing list
that you don't need to download them as everything is self contained in 
the distro.

set the unix variable TMP to /TMP (export TMP=/tmp)
set the unix variable TEXMFCACHE to TMP (export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp)
I think the last step was not needed because the luatools script will 
set it to $TMP

and rename the lua scripts luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua
(from the scripts/lua directory) to their extension less counterparts and
moved them to the texmf-linux/bin directory.  Also did a chmod 755 on them
to make them executable.

I also made a copy of luatex and named it texlua and put it in the 
texmf-linux/bin
directory.

Then after reading the MyWay on MKIV I did a texexec --make --all --luatex
to generate the formats and ran succesfully the following tex script and 
produced a pdf file.

% engine=luatex
\starttext
Hello from luatex
\blank
LUA
\startlua
a = 1.5
b = 1.8
c = a*b
tex.print(c)
\stoplua
\stoptext

Could be that I forgot some steps but this is what I remember.
Hope it helps

Kind regards
Wim

justtex.zip + linuxtex.zip have a luatex binary
that gives me a 'floating point exception' , so i must compile luatex
from luatex.org
Did you got the same error ?

I did not experience any errors, or problems installing or running 
luatex and I did not have to compile
luatex. It seems I was just lucky in getting things to work :)

temp files

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello ,

Someone has written (Hans probably) that temporary files in luatex will sit in memory. But I see a horde of tmp, tuc, tui, etc... Did't that have to diappear? I just can't stand them :-) 

I use the recent stand-alone envinronment for Windows.

you get what you ask for -)

- tui/tui will phase out stepwise
- buffers etc are indeed internal
- tmp file is probably backup of options file (can be handy)

anyhow, add --purge to your texexec all ..
